Bhopal: The prestigious Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism in Madhya Pradesh announced on Wednesday to run a cow shelter or Gaushala at their 50 acre campus in Bhopal.
Speaking to ANI, the university registrar Deepak Sharma said, "(It is) A new experiment. Gaushala will be on around 2 acre fo land."
Sharma further added that the plan of making gaushala inside the campus doesn't need permission from the University Grants Commission.
The university's Vice Chancellor BK Kuthiala confirmed the development to India Today and said, "In the new upcoming campus we have around 50 acres of land. Of this around two acres of land is such that it could not be put to any use. So the question was raised before architects. There were several suggestions but one suggestion that we decided to act upon was of starting a 'gaushala'."
